Embedding a smugmug-powered slideshow on another site

MAHAROGERS

Is there a way to syndicate a slideshow from one of my galleries e.g plug it into a blog or a myspace page or another website?

Slide.com allows you to do this with flickr -- you can set it up to pull photos in from any designated flickr set you want. You can sort of do the same with smugmug but it's a big pain because from what I can tell you have to provide the URL for each smugmug image individually and, even then, it won't link you back to the gallery.

Embedding SS in externally served sites: good?bad?

This would seem to be a "no brainer" as far as entering the SS into the "widget" category. I'd love the opportunity to have use of a SmugMug Slide Show Widget (hint, hint )

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Over xmas, I had a play with integrating smugmug with slideshowpro, more details here.

With external slideshows, they usually allow feeds as an external source of data.

I am interested in looking at some others, if there are certain one people want to use.

Cheers,

David

External programs required??
So, to use your SmugSSP gidget, one must have Macromedia MX Studio, purchase the Slideshow Pro plugin, and then install your code as well? Just curious if that is all necessary, or one can get away without all that heavy equipment

well, you need to purchase slideshowpro ($25), for my development...i just downloaded the 30 day trial of macromedia. Once I had built the swf file the way you want it. There isn't alot to do.

Cheers,

Is there not any way of doing this other than purchasing software?

So you can't include certain files and whatnot from smugmug to enable the SmugSlideshow?
